VOICE; locked from lucifer and orihime

[whiteas]

Attention anyone who's interested in doing some good and is capable of cooperating with others!

There's a girl named Orihime who has gone missing. I've talked to someone who cares about her a fair amount and we both think there's a reason to believe that the person named Lucifer may be responsible for holding her captive in dire circumstances. It's a complicated situation and while most of the evidence is admittedly circumstantial, this is the same person who terrorized the entire city and resulted in multiple deaths and severe injuries only two months ago. He also heavily implied it in a conversation with a man named Adam.

If you're interested in investigating and rescuing Orihime, meet us at Garden Park Apartments, room 106, this Saturday at 8:30AM. We will be discussing a plan and how to go about finding out what really happened to Orihime. You must be willing to work in a team if you want to help or we're not going to get anywhere. In the mean time, if you have any substantial information you would like to share that will help those of us who are trying to put this effort together, reply to this post with it before it's too late.

Just so we're clear, yes that is Adam's apartment. Neither he nor I hit our heads and forgot that we strongly dislike each other. We have agreed to work together to find this girl since I think she's actually important to him despite being a human, and he actually thanked me for it. I'm still wary but I don't think Adam's the danger in this specific situation.

Adam? The same Adam you suggested I be careful around?

ditto unless otherwise stated

[whiteas]

It's a complicated situation, but we have a truce for now.

Because Lucifer is a bigger problem, or you're willing to believe he's genuinely concerned for the safety of this girl?

...Let's get one thing clear. Lucifer's head is mine. I've got a score to settle with that jackass, so all you have to do is figure out where he is, and I'll take care of reducing him to a bloody stain on the floor.

Our focus is on getting Orihime to a safe place, but just so you're aware? Going into a fight alone is the opposite of a good idea. Otherwise we wouldn't be asking for help.

Considering the power difference between you and this Lucifer guy, you'd only be marching to a slaughter anyway. There's probably less than ten people in this hole that could even hold his attention for more than ten seconds, and only one with the power to surpass him.

Me.

[Weiss and Adam working together? Hell might've just frozen over. Ozpin is going to look rather... blandly concerned.]

While I applaud Adam's willingness to work with humans, especially you, I cannot stress that you must be on your guard around him at all times.

Still, there are other elements that the two of you might attract that worry me as well. For instance, the fact that your suspect is most likely in possession of a device like ours, whether he has his own or took it from Orihime, he very well may be listening in.

Might I suggest contacting anyone who shows interest privately and arranging for a different meeting point? If nothing else, it cuts down Lucifer's chances of launching a preemptive attack while planning is underway.

Don't worry, Professor Ozpin. I don't think I could trust him if I tried as long as he still believes in what the White Fang stands for.

I fixed the post to lock Orihime's device out too, but if you don't think that's enough I'm sure we can find another place.

[ He has a point. Though if Lucifer isn't expecting group retaliation, he might not have a reason to suspect that people are locking things from him.. but then again, it's too high of a risk. ]

[deadly_belladonna]

[A little thrown off about- well everything, confused would be a good word for it, too.

But if someone was in trouble that's important to Adam on such a level, she'll help somehow.]

He's dangerous but he doesn't thank humans. So this is obviously very important to him.

We'll certainly have to get this girl back to him where I'm sure he can protect her.

Private to Ozpin, Teammates and Sun

[whiteas]

Thanking me in particular makes me think she's even more important. I'm still not actually sure I heard right.

[ But there's.. another issue here that Weiss wants to bring up, particularly to this group because they're the ones she trusts. Plus Ozpin, since he can at least help them if they royally screw up. ]

I told Adam that I wouldn't follow him because I need a leader I can trust, so we all need to decide on a leader together.

[ She's not just going to assume that fine if it's her in Ruby's absence, even if she thinks she'd want to give it a shot. ]

If someone needs rescuing, I offer my assistance. I will protect the mortals of this place just as those of the Realm.

I defer to your familiarity with the subject of the investigation, but I must at least raise the option of putting me in command in the event of a combat situation. I believe I can be most useful in that capacity. I have over 4 decades of experience as a military officer and some of my Charms work best when leading a group. [not to mention how much it would chafe to take orders from a mortal.]

[video]

[whiteas]

We'll certainly have to consider it. We're going to draw up a strategy once we know who is volunteering. If you have that much experience and it's going to benefit the cause, it's not something that's going to be easy to ignore.

[ She's not quite sure about this lady, but that's because she really doesn't want to trust someone she doesn't remotely know anything about to lead people she cares about into battle. Particularly since avoiding battle is something she's willing to do if it comes down to it. ]

I'm Weiss Schnee: Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company in my home world, the leading energy propellent company known for the production of weaponized and commercialized Dust and military weaponry. I'm also a huntress at Beacon Academy from one of the top teams at Beacon, one of the best combat schools in Remnant.

[ Normally she wouldn't bother with the full explanation and length introduction, but this person had stated their qualifications and seems very intent on declaring herself as a leader. It's important to at least establish that she portrays some credentials to state that she knows what she's doing if she wants to make sure that they don't have a problem, so she didn't think that just stating her name would be effective in demonstrating her capability for planning this. She also should probably say huntress-in-training, but it doesn't quite have as much authority or standing, so she just goes with the 'you are your career path' statement style. ]

[Fuck his life. Just bloody start screwing his life right now. First he learns from Zelos that Lucifer was here, then suddenly this girl thinks it is a wise idea to go march towards Lucifer and take a girl whom apparently he has taken an interest in?]

[Dear Father. What have I done to deserve such a punishment?]

[After the feed ends, Weiss will notice a bright light appear behind her. In its wake, is a middle aged man with a hell of a frown directed at her.]

Congratulations. You're sending these people to their doom.

[Action]

[whiteas]

[ Excuse you? Weiss immediately reaches for and draws Myrtenaster. Any stranger who appears inside her apartment without permission or warning and tells her she's sending people to their doom? Not someone she's considering friendly. ]

Yeah well you're a home invader and if you're expecting to have a reasonable conversation after that? You're out of your mind.

[Sailor Venus decides to make an appearance on the feed, arms crossed and eyes closed.]

I can help based on experience of actually fighting and losing to this guy. If you plan doesn't involve a distraction and a rescue team it will probably be much harder with the large possibility of it failing, team or not.

[She finally opens her eyes, a rather serious expression on her face.]

Believe me when I say when fighting with him, I couldn't even land a scratch, even when I did hit him. So he's much tougher than he looks and the odds are a lot of people will come out of it injured, so long as you realize that it might make planning easier such as having healers close by should that need arise.

[whiteas]

Considering the people signing up so far, that's the type of plan that seems to be laying itself out.

[ There are people who are gung-ho about fighting Lucifer and then there are those who are less trained but willing to do what's necessary regardless of the risk. ]

The people from my world self-heal to a certain point, but I think that's a good idea to try to find someone with healing abilities for everyone else. Do you have any recommendations?

[Video]

[luckymonster]

Don't get me wrong. I'd like to help where ever I can. But how sure are you that you can trust this Adam person?

What if the whole conversation was a ploy to get certain individuals to act, only to trap them? [More importantly, Azula was highly curious as to what this Orihime person had, that would make her a special target for the 'lord of hell']

[Video]

[whiteas]

[ HA trust Adam. HAHAHA. Okay no Weiss doesn't laugh but she is a little inside. ]

The only person here Adam would have a reason to try something like that with is me and in this world? It wouldn't accomplish anything. We might not like each other, at all, but we've both decided not to drag anyone else into that.

[ Just bickering. Lots and lots of bickering. ]

[ not here ]

[banishment]

[ pot calling the kettle black much, sister dear? ]

[grindpantera]

Where is Lucifer? And if she is found, are you all going to go and save her?

[whiteas]

That.. would be part of the investigation. And yes, we are.

[monkeystowaway]

We can't meet at neutral ground instead?

Locked to WBY and Ozpin

[whiteas]

There isn't a lot of neutral ground that wouldn't be painfully obvious, cramped, or expensive.

Plus, this way I get to see how the only White Fang member I know lives and observe his mannerisms and try to understand how he thinks.

[ She's gonna observe the hell out of him. ]

[Audio/Locked] /So laaatteee. He's not joining the mission itself, so hope this is okay?

[beautifulmidboss]

[Vyers had been delaying replying to this for some time. The fact that Lucifer may have been holding an innocent hostage made him feel sick to his stomach. What would he do to someone who could not defend themselves? Still...he knew rushing into this fight now would be reckless.

So in the end, he waits until the following day - Sept 10th - to reply.]

Powerful as I am, I fear I might hold you group back if I get involved in this mission myself. Still, if an insight into his fighting ability and technique would assist, I can provide that, at least.

[His physical wounds had mostly recovered, but after seeing Lucifer turn up on the video feed once again, he knew he could not handle confronting him so soon. Vyers was not planning on lying to himself - if he froze up in the middle of battle, that would only waste the group's time, something they did not have against an opponent like Lucifer.]

... I wish you all the very best of luck.

[Audio/Locked] yep!

[whiteas]

It would most certainly help as a precaution. We already know that he flies, but if you know of any specific weaknesses, holes in his defense, or anything else, we'd appreciate it if you'd share.
